When Lahm and Villas-Boas came to the youth team to find Meulensteen, they unexpectedly saw Meulensteen seriously teaching a young player. In Lahm's eyes, that player might only be 13 or 14 years old.
Left or right.$().(w)(x).()
But in fact, this young man just turned 16 this summer.
"That's right, in today's game, I specifically asked my opponents to restrict you. Let them tell you how easy it is to be restricted when playing with one foot! If your left foot is 100 points, then you
My right foot performed well today
0 points! You use your left foot to pass the ball accurately, shoot accurately, dribble past people, and do everything, but what about your right foot? You can even make mistakes when passing the ball 30 meters away. When you are being marked, your right foot stops the ball.
3 mistakes! Lionel, God has given you nothing
Unparalleled talent, not only talent, but also a naturally dominant left foot! How rare this is, can you understand? Because when all players in the world defend their opponents, 99% of their opponents are right-footed players! And
The impact of your left foot will itself create difficulties for your opponent. However, when your opponent knows this and tries to restrict your use of your left foot, if you cannot use your right foot to disrupt your opponent's plan, you
His abilities will be restricted a lot, a lot!”
It was the 16-year-old Messi who was scolded by Meulensteen. His good friend Aguero was absentmindedly playing with the ball not far away, and was actually secretly listening to Meulensteen's lessons to Messi.
Messi's talent and talent are not only recognized by every coach at Millwall, but even football critics who have watched him play will be full of praise.
Because in the competition among his peers, he is simply an omnipotent king. He is the master of the competition!
However, professional football is not a competition between the same age groups. On the real professional stage, you will directly meet veterans with rich battlefield experience.
It is impossible for Meulensteen to ask Messi to change his preferred foot, nor to really let him achieve a balance between his feet. But at the very least, the gap between his feet must not be too obvious, and Messi cannot become a
"One-legged monster", in that case, it will really limit his ability to display his strength.
Even in today's football manager games, there are options to limit the opponent's dominant foot. Is this child's play? Is it nonsense? Absolutely not!
With a certain level of outstanding defensive players, the restrictions on the opponent will definitely involve the opponent's preferred foot, instead of just standing in front of the opponent and waiting stupidly, and really adapting to the changes, but these,
It's hard to see for fans watching the game.
Take Schneider as an example. When he was defending Giggs against Manchester United, he focused on catching the moments when the opponent's dribbling rhythm was poor. When choosing the time to intercept, it must be based on the space when Giggs' left foot touches the ball. Or Giggs' left foot touches the ball.
When Giggs wants to pass him, most of them use his left foot to control the ball and change the frequency or direction, which can be predicted. Giggs has made several wonderful breakthroughs against him, and you can often see Giggs.
Si used his right foot to protect the ball to confuse Schneider, and after a rhythm difference, he used his left foot to break through and change direction.
This is the importance of the smaller the gap between the feet, the greater the threat. The dominant foot remains unchanged, but the other foot must be able to provide the effect of confusing the opponent's defensive awareness in one-on-one situations, which requires a certain ability.
Messi originally also had intensive training on his right foot, just like Ronaldinho, Cristiano Ronaldo, and Henry and others in the past. They all went through this path at Millwall. Anyone who has the ability to pass five levels and defeat six generals
Players can't fly with just one foot. The simplest thing is
The effect is that if you stop the ball with your right foot and then dribble the ball with your right foot, you can stop the ball perfectly with your left foot and directly step out with your right foot. In terms of rhythm difference and efficiency, the latter is obviously better. This is Ronaldinho.
, Henry, Larson and others, experienced frequent stops and delays.
Messi has indeed slacked off in training in this area in the past two months. In addition, today Meulensteen intends to beat him. Not only did he arrange opponents for the U18 youth team, but he also specially assigned players who are two years older than Messi
Restricting his left foot caused Messi to play a worse game.
Messi didn't refute anything. He knew that the coach was educating him, and he didn't just say it with words. He used the game to make him realize the importance. He honestly expressed his attitude to Meulensteen, and he will strengthen his right foot next.
During the training, Meulensteen wasn't really angry, but his tone was a little harsher.
After Messi was allowed to leave, Messi winked at Aguero when he saw him. He didn't mean to take pleasure in his misfortune. It was mostly a feeling of happiness that he had "survived the catastrophe".
In fact, Aguero is rather envious, because the tradition here is: the more the coach talks to you, the more the representative values you.
I have been here for a long time. Some players usually live quietly for three or four years without being scolded by the coach. Then when they reach a certain age, they leave here and never come back. In fact, no news about them is ever heard from them.
.
Boas and Lahm were waiting behind. It was not until Messi left that Boas brought Lahm to Meulensteen and told Meulensteen where Ram was playing.
Looking at Lahm's thin body, Meulensteen had a strange look on his face and asked Villas-Boas: "Is Aldrich going to build a crazy offensive team in the first team?"
Ram didn't quite understand, but Boas chuckled and said: "There should be more pursuits than before. Besides, the situation this year is different from the past few years."
Mullensdin nodded after thinking for a moment.
"Indeed, I didn't think so much last year. I just felt that I could continue to be brilliant by following the old path. But a month ago, I saw that Daniele and Xavi's physical fitness was much stronger, and I suddenly felt that the team's midfield was better than before.
Being stronger can really weaken some of the side defensive muscles."
Villas-Boas smiled and said: "That's true. Aldrich is always an eye-opener when it comes to adapting to changes. Maybe in two years, you may be able to train a few defenders who can play organization."
Meulensteen burst into laughter, shook his head and said: "I am only responsible for cultivating players' technical abilities. Organizational abilities are more important here, and I can't cultivate them here. Only Aldridge or your first team coach can cultivate them."
He pointed to his temple as he spoke. The meaning was obvious: mind.
After Villas-Boas left, Ram was first taken to the youth team's office building by Meulensteen. In his office, Meulensteen took out a videotape and played it for Ram to watch.
Lahm saw that there were highlights of some players' performances on the field.
What surprised him was that in these extraordinary highlights, almost all the players were wingers!
Meulensteen explained for him: "Originally I thought you were a forward introduced by the team, but Vilas said you were a full-back, and then I realized what role Aldrich wanted you to play in the team in the future.
, let’s put it this way, it is impossible for a full-back to become a world-class player relying solely on his defensive ability.
For full-backs. To become the best in the world, the full-backs must have at least 70% of the capabilities of top wingers. If coupled with the fact that the full-backs themselves are more hidden than the wingers and have room to sprint in their positions, then in actual games, their role will be
, equal to or even better than a winger. Therefore, in your skills
In terms of technical training, at least in the offensive aspect, you have to use the winger as a template, and not a traditional winger. Because there is no traditional winger in Millwall. The cultivation of awareness is the work of the first team, and I am only responsible for your technical ability.
To cultivate, let you watch these videos first to make your heart
Have a foundation and know what direction you are working towards. The specific training content will be tailor-made according to your characteristics. And don’t feel pressured, thinking that you will learn a lot of tricks, but you won’t. Practicality comes first.
Maybe after a year and a half, you won’t think you’ve learned anything.”
Ram seemed to understand. He understood the first half, but not the second half: What does it mean not to think that you have learned something?
It was only after he began to understand the characteristics of Mullensdin and guide him in his studies that he realized the meaning of this sentence.
Because Millwall never teaches players to do tricks.
The success of passing people is not one-on-one in most cases, but space and coherence. Choose a good passing line and use your explosive power at the precise time. You can pass a group of people at once, or you can break through the entire line at once.
Defensive line, wrong route selection, situation judgment, and improper time to release explosive power may allow you to pass someone, but you will be trapped in a double-team circle, causing the ball at your feet to enter a dead end, causing the team's
An attack was ended by the opponent.
As for teaching, it is to strengthen basic skills and focus on practicality.
The simpler things are, the foundation for everything. This is the basis of the Millwall team's philosophy. Just like they never design complex tactical routines, they only set up a clear system, and then rely on players and execution.
In this process, you may have subconsciously created a wonderful landscape that others cannot achieve.
While receiving special training, Lahm unknowingly absorbed the essence of Millwall's philosophy, and everything from his personal abilities to his football thinking was quietly changing.
...
Before leaving for Chelsea, Aldridge attended the pre-match press conference for the opening game of the new Premier League season.
Compared to Chelsea who have been in the limelight since July 1st, Millwall seems to be a little dim, but when it comes to the sports theme, Millwall is still back to the protagonist's position. Fleet Street does not want to admit it, but it is also taking action.
Silently telling the world: Compared with Chelsea's swagger, Millwall is the most attention-grabbing football king in the entire European football world.
"Sir Alex Ferguson declared that Manchester United's biggest enemy to defend their title this season is Millwall."
"Chelsea see Millwall as a contender."
"Arsenal believes that Manchester United cannot successfully defend the title. They and Millwall are the championship competitors."
"AC Milan won the Champions League last season, ending the Premier League's five-year dominance of the Champions League. AC Milan coach Carlo Ancelotti believes that the biggest opponent in the Champions League in the new season is Millwall."
When Aldridge appeared on the press hall stage, reporters in the audience asked questions.
There is no other way, Aldridge, the young marshal, is acting like a big star again.
When I came, I just said: You ask first, and then I will answer them all at once to save time.
Fleet Street is full of tears.
There was an unpleasant quarrel with Aldridge at the end of last season. The young coach really holds a grudge.
So everyone rushed to ask questions and wait for the young commander's answer.
Aldridge's expression was unimpressed. After the scene became quiet, he picked up the mineral water on the table and took a sip. He said calmly: "Millwall will not always be strong, will not always be the Premier League champion, and will not always be the Champions League champion.
However, that day has not come yet at least. Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, AC Milan, how they view Millwall is not what I care about. Millwall has only one enemy in the new season, and that enemy is named
Called Millwall."
After saying this, the young commander stood up and left calmly.
All the reporters on Fleet Street looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
Well, the young commander’s classic remarks have appeared again.
Millwall manager says Millwall only has one enemy named Millwall.
This is ignoring everyone! (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
